It was a fantastic weekend with some superb snow on the slopes, and the new week has kicked off with an amazing sunny day with crisp blue skies. The clear skies have been accompanied by some very very cold temperatures though with thermometres plunging below -20c. Now even the locals refer to these temperatures as cold so be sure to layer up and perhaps put some of the wonder heat pads in your gloves to help fight the cold. Night skiing is now in full swing through to 8pm on both sides of the resort.
